I'm Christina and this is Espuki stories, where every story is based on real events. Listen Escuchia at your own risk. MIGUELI D'lgorcostia is known as the father of the nation Il pare de la Patria in Mexico. He was a Catholic priest and a leader during the Mexican War of Independence. He's also set to hunt the streets of Chihuahua, Mexico. On September sixteenth, eighteen ten, he gave the cry of Dolores el Grito Dependencia, a speech urging the people to revolt. He then ordered the rinking of the church bell as a call to arms. He lared troops as a war waged on, but was captured on March twenty one, eighteen eleven and taken to Chihuahua. He was then turned over to Durango on the twenty seventh of July, then excommunicated and tortured. He was to be executed on the thirtieth of July, and their several theories on how that happened. The one most agree on is death by firing squad. Before this happened, he thanked his prison guards for their kind treatment and then stated though I may die, I shall be remembered forever. You all will soon be forgotten. After he was killed, he was decapitated and put on display in Guanajuato. While his head was on display, locals claimed to hear him screaming during the night. His body remained that way for ten years. His remains were then buried at the Church of Saint Francis in Chihuahua and then transferred to see That Mexico in eighteen twenty four to this day, in Chihuahua, on the corner of Gayesiete and Juarez, after the moon is out and most people are asleep, many see the ghost of a headless priest. It can be seen walking and then disappearing into the shadows. It's believed that this is the ghost of Miguel. Others have seen his full apparition all over Mexico on the sixteenth, giving the cry of Flores once again, but in death. Spooky Stories is written, edited and produced by me Christina.
